Answer:

14 km

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1) look at the information you are given:</u>

140 km total (<em>to and from work</em>)

Note that this number includes both the distance to work and the distance from work.

He works 5 days a week.

<u>2)Figure out the distance he travels within one day</u>

This means that you should take the 140 km and divide it by 5 in order to find out the amount of km he travels each day.

28 km is the amount of KM he travels each DAY.

<u>3) Figure out the distance from work to home </u>

From this point, it is important to note the question is asking for <u>the distance his work is from home.</u>

Each day, he must travel 2 times: he must go to work and go from work to home, which are both the same distance.

This means that in order to get only the distance from work to home, you must divide by 2.

Answer: 14km

Step-by-step explanation:

Total distance covered per week= 140km

Distance covered per day = 140km/5 = 28km

Since, 28km is the distance covered by day (to and from work)

Therefore, the distance to his work from home is given as :

28km/2 = 14km

4 2/9 as a decimal work shown

Xelga [282]

The Answer Is:<span>4.222222</span>

4 2/9 = 4 + 2/9

= 4/1 + 2/9

= (4/1 * 9/9) + 2/9

= 36/9 + 2/9

= 38/9

= 38 ÷ 9 = 4.222222

How to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators and mixed numbers?

Rainbow [258]

To add and subtract fractions you must do the multiplication of the numerator of the first with the denominator of the second. Then, add or subtract the multiplication of the numerator from the second with the denominator of the first. Finally divide the result between the multiplication of the denominator of the first with the denominator of the second fraction.Annex the result.

The sum of two numbers is 53 and the difference is 11. What are the numbers?

vaieri [72.5K]

Let assume that the the two numbers are X and Y and that X is the large number.
According to the question,
X + Y = 53 .................. Equation 1
then, X = 11 + Y........... Equation 2
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1.
[11 + Y] + Y = 53
11 + 2Y = 53
2Y = 53 - 11 = 42
2Y = 42
Y = 42 / 2 = 21,
Therefore, Y = 21 [Small number].
According to equation 1,
X +Y = 53
X + 21 = 53
X = 53 - 21 = 32.
Therefore, X = 32 [Big number].

What is 8(1/4x-3)+24<4(x+5)

Sergio039 [100]

Hey there!

We can solve inequalities just like equations. There is only one difference though. If you ever multiply or divide both sides by a negative number, you "flip" the inequality sign.

First, let's undo the parentheses.

2x-24+24<4x+20

We simplify.

2x<4x+20

We subtract 4x from both sides.

-2x<20

We divide both sides by -2 (we will need to flip the inequality sign).

x>-10

I hope this helps!
